HELP! Cake baker sold the business! What do I do!?!?!

So my Mom ran in the bakery who is baking my cake for my June wedding today…lucky she did because the old owner of the bakery–the person I spoke with at my tasting–has sold the business to a new woman. The new owner knew nothing about my cake(s) and was actually quite rude to my mom about it. She said that part of the selling agreement was that the old owner would come “help her out” with the wedding cakes!

Needless to say this makes me super nervous! I was told nothing about the business changing hands, I have no idea if this new person knows how to bake a wedding cake (its sounds like she does not), and I honestly don’t know if she will show up with my cake.

Suggestions on what to do? The cake is completely paid for. Can I get a complete refund. The order form says something about a non-refundable deposit if MY date changes. Not something on their end.

MiddleBayBride: Do you have contact information for the old owner? If not, the new owner should have that information. Can you get in touch with the old owner and confirm that they will still be making your wedding cake?
